Re: Wetsuit for sailing a sunfish in Michigan


 

I agree.? I am a "fair weather" sailor on inland lakes in southeast Michigan, and I never use a wetsuit.? The answer might be different in the upper peninsula, or out on the Great Lakes...

I sail a sunfish in Michigan, I would not waste money on a wetsuit unless you plan on sailing october through april (which you should definitely try, the winds are fantastic in october and november and you'll be the only boat on the water)? That being said, the thicker the wet suit, the more you're going to sweat as you don't get wet enough to cool the inside back down unless you flip a lot.? I would go with a 3mm shorty if you feel you must have one.
